When decorating, many people will choose to customize a wall cabinet on the wall to store items.
When someone asks, they will proudly say: "I have a cabinet full of walls in my house, so I don't have to worry about having no place to put things, as long as you can put it down, you can put it wherever you want."
On the surface, it sounds like this, but the author's neighbor, Xiao Wang, regrets finding a good place to store things.
Xiao Wang's wall cabinet is at the place where they enter the door, let's turn right after coming in from the door and see two doors, one is the bathroom, and the other is leading to the living room, let's not enter the living room first.
First, on the right-hand side, there is a sofa on the left side of the wall cabinet, which is arranged like this:
The place where the sofa and the bay window meet is the wall, and there are some partitions on the other side of the sofa that block the view, but this is not the most critical, the key is coming.
That is, the other half of the partition is a cabinet, that is, there is a row of cabinets on the wall where the sofa is placed, and a row of cabinets is placed on the wall where the cabinets are placed.
In this way, it can be said that the storage space has been doubled, but Xiao Wang said that he regretted making a wall cabinet.
So what are the disadvantages of a wall cabinet?
Why does Xiao Wang regret it?
Let's discuss this today.
The disadvantages of a wall cabinet.
If a family builds a house with their own money, the money spent on house design and renovation will not necessarily exceed the budget at this time.
That is to say, people can accept this, but their consumption level and income are gradually rising, but the price is not, so there are fewer and fewer people who can afford such high consumption, and then people will start to be careful when decorating their houses.
Some people will spend this part of the money on designing a wall cabinet, but this cost is not a small amount, most people think that the most expensive thing to design a wall cabinet is the price of the cabinet material, but in fact it is not.
The price of the material of the cabinet is the most basic, and the other costs include the space reserved for the cabinet, as well as the design of the cabinet door and the time and energy spent by the workers in designing the cabinet and making the cabinet.
Therefore, if you want to design a full-wall cabinet during renovation, in addition to spending a lot of money, you also have to sacrifice a large part of the living space.
So much money is spent to occupy a lot of living space, and many people may feel that it is not worth it, so can you retain the advantage of storage space for wall cabinets, but do not occupy living space?
Yes, but with more expensive materials.
People may choose façade film to replace the full wall cabinet, which not only only needs to occupy a piece of wall space, but also the cost is much cheaper, and more importantly, it can avoid the shortcomings of full wall cabinets occupying living space.
But on the other hand, there are many people who, like Xiaobian, may prefer the feeling of the cabinet.
The façade film is actually a kind of film that can block the view and stick it to the wall, and this film has no storage space.
Therefore, some people feel that the film is too simple, so they will choose to use decorative materials to decorate the wall, so that not only has storage space, but also looks better than the façade film.
However, the cost of decorative materials is not low, and you may be reluctant to decorate with decorative materials in order to prevent the scars caused by the welding from being unsightly, and end up spending more money to hire someone to clean the scars on the weld.
In this way, it has cost double the money and has not been able to reflect them, and some people feel that it is not worth it, so people need to think about these issues first when decorating.
Why do full-wall cabinets take up space in your home?
This brings us to the thickness of the cabinets on the wall.
Many people may think that it doesn't matter if it's thicker, but in fact, the thickness takes up a lot of living space, and the thickness you don't notice when put together takes up a lot of space.
For example, if the design of a full-wall cabinet is one meter thick, then the cabinets on both sides will occupy a total of two square meters, which means that one-fifth of a 10-square-meter room is for cabinets.
Even if the room is larger, if you choose a 20-square-meter house, then a tenth of the space will be occupied.
This is one of the reasons why more and more people are considering the space problem of full wall cabinets when decorating.
They just want more storage space, but they don't take into account the fact that unreasonably sized cabinets will occupy more living space.
Our family sometimes holds parties and invites a lot of friends, otherwise the two of us and our eldest daughter would be at home.
There is a place for the eldest daughter's toys, but we are considering whether to set a special place for the daughter's toys so that they will not occupy the space at home, but this matter has not been put on the agenda.
Slowly, we noticed that there were more and more things in the house, and the already messy living room was now almost invisible.
In the past, we could sit on the sofa in the living room to entertain guests at home, but now we need to say hello before going to someone's room so as not to disturb others.
If no one goes again, if someone waits a little longer, and if someone doesn't need it, they will say you go first, leaving your daughter alone at home to play with toys, which makes us feel very embarrassed.
This incident makes us understand a truth, that is:
If there is storage space, things will be put in it, if the storage space is not large enough, then it will be changed to a larger one, and if there is more space, things will be piled up.
This is actually the same as a wall cabinet, the storage space at home will not reduce the number of items at home, but will increase the number of items because of the storage space, and eventually the problem of insufficient space will arise again because of the increase in items.
Some people may think that they are using environmentally friendly materials and the formaldehyde concentration is not too high.
In fact, the study and bedroom do not need to be too high, too high a concentration may cause physical discomfort, so you can use environmentally friendly materials.
However, if a cabinet has to have multiple compartments, the amount of material required for each compartment will increase significantly, so that the use of environmentally friendly materials will exceed the budget, and eventually cheaper materials will have to be used.
Take a locker for example, if you want it to have a cabinet with four compartments, then you need to make the cabinet thicker to fit more materials.
At this time, your cabinet is not an environmentally friendly cabinet, but a cabinet with excessive formaldehyde concentration.
There are many pieces of furniture that have design ideas, but it is very difficult to implement them, and some designers even put the most reasonable separation ideas in the design drawings, and many of these divisions are immovable.
Therefore, in actual use, their storage effect is not good, some lattices may be too small to cause items can not be put in, if it is a movable design, you can also put it in another place, but if it is a non-movable design, you can only find another place to put the item into another compartment.
There are some items in the grid that are put in and forgotten, and there are some items that are put in and never taken out, which eventually takes up too much space and causes insufficient storage space, and the items that are accidentally forgotten will become obsolete and become garbage and be disposed of.
After having a wall full of cabinets at home, there will be many dust-free places in the home, especially places like Xiao Wang's house where cabinets and partitions exist at the same time.
Some people will think that this will not fall a lot of dust, and it is not too much, but in fact, the smaller the space, the lower its capacity, and the low capacity is not only reflected in the volume, the smaller the area, the smaller the area of the falling dust, and the greater the thickness.
Moreover, the dust areas have their own partitions, and the places that are not enough must be removed with items to clean up, and not cleaning will make the room look particularly dirty.
The more such places, the more cumbersome it is to clean, so people will be more and more lazy to clean.
Replace the wall cabinet with an alternative design.
People like Xiao Wang's house may not be able to live in a small apartment with cabinets full of cabinets in the living room, but Xiao Wang gave up this idea after he moved.
There are many people who may not have seen it, but there are two kinds of furniture that have this idea, they are both mobile, and one of them is a cart.
Its shape is relatively simple, it looks like a trolley, but some carts even have a space to store sundries, so if there are too many sundries at home to use up the cart, you can use this cart to replace the problem of insufficient storage space.
Another convenient piece of furniture is a folding sofa, which does not take up a lot of space like a general sofa, but can be folded, folded to the size of a cabinet, and can become a bed when opened, so that guests can have a place to stay, and at the same time will not take up too much space.
epilogue
It is true that there are many advantages to designing a full wall cabinet, but the advantages are not the only one, and one can choose furniture that has the same advantages in other homes and does not have the disadvantages of full wall cabinets.
At this time, you may think: why do people design a wall cabinet with so many shortcomings?
In fact, because there is no contrast and no harm, people always pay more attention to their own houses, and the style of other people's houses is good-looking but they don't know what the shortcomings are.
